Tim Murphy Quotations

Instead of raising taxes as some would insist, we need to reduce waste and inefficiency in government.

As we continue to fight the war on terror, we express our gratitude to our troops whose valor over the last three years provided freedom to the Iraqis, while protecting our liberty here at home.

My great-grandfather was a coal miner, who worked in Pennsylvania mines when carts were pulled by mules and mines were lit by candles. Mining was very dangerous work then.

The dedication of the United States Air Force, Special Forces, and others involved in the mission to tracking down terrorists can not be matched. We express our gratitude to these men and women who defend the freedom America represents.

Al Zarqawi had a long history of terrorism. He was responsible for several bombings and beheadings in Iraq, including Pennsylvania native Nicholas Berg.

In the span of three years, the Iraqi people participated in three elections, drafted a constitution, and elected a new government. While more work remains, this is remarkable progress.

Moreover, health center services save money and lives by treating diseases before they become chronic conditions, require hospital care or require a trip to the emergency room.

Tens of billions of dollars could be saved in Medicare and Medicaid alone by eliminate fraud and improving patient care. Not only would this save money, but it will save lives.

Today, children are watching more and more television, and are bombarded over and over with images and content that have the potential to dramatically influence their behavior.

The pro-growth policies of Congress have helped created new jobs in the region and across the country.

However, many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance.

Making the tax cuts permanent will continue to grow the economy, create jobs, and put more money in the pockets of the hard-working families of Pennsylvania.

The face of terrorism in Iraq is dead. Abu Musab al Zarqawi brutalized, tortured, and killed thousands of innocent people, forcing Iraqis to live in fear. The Iraqi people finally had enough, and gave up his whereabouts to the Iraqi security forces.

The Iraqi people are living better lives now than three year ago, no longer living in fear.

Over the last two decades, America has increased its demand for oil by nearly 30 percent, yet we have not expanded our ability to produce domestic sources of fuel.

The coal industry has helped fuel this Nation for 150 years, and coal can be used to heat our homes, power our economy, and protect our Nation for at least another 150 years if we continue to use it.

More than 1.1 million taxpayers in Pennsylvania will enjoy a lower tax rate, more than 1.4 million married couples will benefit from the reduction in the marriage penalty, and more than 1.1 million parents will have the advantage of an increased child tax credit.

I was supposed to come tour the hospital to talk to the wounded. I didn't think I'd be among them,

I think we're very solid there. The only concern is we've got a lot of respect for Brian Lapham, a First Team All-Ivy player a year ago, and he's our best tackle.

I think he needs a good couple of years to learn the system.

We just couldn't find any holes in their defense, ... We had only three kills in the first game and 25 hits.

When it costs $50 to fill up our gas tanks, it impacts every aspect of our daily lives and the community.

We had an accident, drove off the road, ... hit something, went up and came down and flipped on its side. I've got some bumps and bruises on me, and there was some concern about neck injury. . . . Because of some of the symptoms I was experiencing, they transferred me up to Germany to have an MRI done. . . . I'll have some pain for a while, but I'm okay.

We did not play well as an offensive unit.

To state the obvious, we got our butts kicked today. I thought they out-toughed us, and we never really gave our defense a chance.

What we are speaking to here is a case in which a court, I believe, far overreached the issues involved in a case and declared parenting unconstitutional.

We help you with the music and the cheerleaders.

Warren had a heck of a night, ... She was our go-to player.

Every soldier I talked to said, 'Don't pull out. Do not make it so those who have been wounded and those who have died have done so in vain. We know we can take care of this cause. We got to finish this,'

They put some hard hit balls by us,

They are concerned about the morale of their families and the people back home,

I try to get as many kids focused for the states as I can, and that's how I judge how I'm doing as a coach. To me, that's a better measurement of how I'm doing with the talent I'm given, how many players get medals. If all these kids step up and do what they're supposed to do, we'll be OK.

It's the heart and soul of what we preach and it's been such an incredible strength for our football program. No. 1 in nation in 2001, No. 1 in 2002, No. 1 in the Ivy League three of the last four years. It's dramatic.

The Bay Area has a strong running community and October has ideal conditions for running in this region. This is a world class course that will attract elite athletes and will provide a fun-filled tour of some of San Jose?s newest features and most historic sites.

It's what we've all known. There are certainly good players on teams in this neck of the woods, so it's no surprise to me.

Once again, we give up a goal on the first shot of the game. That first one got by us, but after that we were able to play hard on defense and block a lot of shots before they even got to our goalie.

I'm as far from Nashville as I've been in 14 years, and now Nashville's knocking on our door. I'd almost given up.

I oppose the deal. The issue of a foreign government with possible links to terrorists means you have to be extremely careful. And this was done without the attention of Congress or the president.

If you look at it from a momentum standpoint, it was a huge momentum swing in the first quarter for obvious reasons.

I could not help but think if we were to walk out now, we would see a lot more fellows like this young kid and hear a lot more awful stories about kids who were orphaned,

All of the families here are very close. We don't want to see this happen to anyone, especially a little boy.
